Could we see the changes for the configuration. I am especially interested that we get back to the 5 player For Sale that had been the standard.
Arena season 0: the Final Sprint !
Re: Arena season 0: the Final Sprint !
Thank you so much for the dedication to this site. Great job.
For Arena I did enjoy the when you set specific times for each game to start. It was the only way i could play games like "Saboteur" or any other games with 5+ players

Re: Arena season 0: the Final Sprint !
In un periodo difficile come questo in cui non è possibile stare a contatto con gli amici di gioco, voi offrite la possibilità di giocare lo stesso con amici di tutto il mondo donando gioia e serenità in quei piccoli ma intensi momenti di gioco. Voglio ringraziarvi per tutto il supporto che date e anche se a volte e impossibile entrare nel sito e giocare per un numero altissimo di persone non fa niente ,basta avere un po' di pazienza.
Re: Arena season 0: the Final Sprint !
Hi ! I was wondering if you would use the relegation to add leagues to some games that started with fewer leagues. For Terra Mystica for example it would be the perfect timing: only elite players are relegated to the (now non-existant) gold league, while silver and bronze player just stay bronze and silver players.

Re: Arena season 0: the Final Sprint !
Arena. A complaint.
A game of two computers.
The parras player in Takenoko Arena takes points from player Irinka.
From February 19 to March 31, they played 16 games in the Arena.
parras - Irinka - 16: 0 (+158 points).
This allows him to continue the fight for first place in the game Takenoko. And no matter how hard I and the other masters play, we have no chance. The Irinka player is always there. And she does not want to beat him. And he can get points as much as he wants at any time.
They are friends on the site for over a year. Both speak Russian. Four times he had to play to fight for first place. And three times he used her services. This caught my attention. I looked deeper. She did not play a year. And she resumed playing Takenoko for the parras player. Played 4 games with other players. We tried to be paired. (February 19). Happened. (Agreeing to be together in the game is not difficult). Until March 1, she plays with other players. Gaining rating in the Arena. February 25, enters the elite league. The player is strong, her game is highly respected. She herself could compete for first place. And her defeat can not be attributed to random miscalculations. Games began among themselves. She practically brings the games with the parras player to a win, showing him that she is not weaker than him, and at the last moment gives her victory, fulfilling her promise: “Help him”.
I analyzed only 7 games they played. And I found more than enough evidence. There was no point in analyzing the rest of the games.
March 31. Party # 69 781 594. parras - Irinka - 43: 37. The last game. The parras player was stronger. There are no coarse coasters.
March 12th. Party # 66 392 890. parras - Irinka - 40: 39.
On turn 175, the Irinka player can end the game by putting rain on a yellow field with a fence. The victory is obvious, not less than 41 points. She defiantly sends a rain to a friend on a red bamboo, a meaningless move for her. On move 193, she chooses a panda that she does not need now. Then the plot. To win, it was enough to choose a panda task of any color and win the game.
21 March. Party # 67 451 480. parras - Irinka - 34: 31. An important party, for occupying 1 place.
On move 174, parras completes the game with 34 points by completing 10 missions. Irinka chooses the course plot. It was enough for her to choose the yellow or red section from the proposed ones and put in the right place to win. In the first case - 40: 34. In the second case - 35: 34.
February 19th. Party # 64 997 141. parras - Irinka - 45: 43. The first game.
After completing 8 tasks, the Irinka player makes 2 useless moves for himself, but useful for the opponent. Takes a yellow patch and a canal. And helps him complete the task.
10th of March. Party # 66 256 697. parras - Irinka - 40: 34.
On move 176, the Irinka player could win by putting the yellow spot in its place. 41 points But she puts the plot in another place. On move 193, she could finish the game with 42 points by playing as a gardener. On the last move, she could easily score 40 points, taking the gardener at 6 points. And defeat 40: 40 (19: 18 in bamboo).
March 14th. Party # 66 560 166. parras - Irinka - 37: 22.
He plays along on move 59. Puts a yellow box to build an opponent. Instead of putting a red box with a fence for yourself. Even a beginner will not make such a mistake. And we are dealing with a player standing in the top twenty. This mistake decided the outcome of the game, turning the whole game upside down.
March 8. Party # 66 156 918. parras - Irinka - 35: 31.
Player parras finishes the game with 35 points. There is a chance to choose a panda task. The winning percentage is not large (28.5 percent). For that, the move is obvious. She makes a useless move by a panda, depriving herself of her last chance. And only then checks if she could win or not.
If you agree with my conclusion, I suggest checking my allegations and suggesting you to remove 158 points from player parras. He scored so much in the game with his friend. He is a strong player. Let him prove in fair play that he is the strongest in the game Takenoko.
P.S. : No proof. I do not know if we are dealing with one person or two. But the level, tactics and behavior of both in the game are similar. But the goal of the parras player is very clear. Now the Irinka player is gaining a rating in the Arena in order to lose 2-3 games to his friend in the last two days and give the highest score. And the parras player will be the best. I will gladly accept if the best player in the Arena is Espina or RogerMoncusi. For 3 months they have been fighting in the Arena as gladiators, sparing no strength, health and time. But I don’t want us to have a fake champion in Takenoko.
P.S. : March 3, I played with the player Irinka. After the end of the game, I wrote in Russian: “See you again!”. By morning, in her dossier she had changed her knowledge of the Russian language into French.

Re: Arena season 0: the Final Sprint !
another bug is prestige rewarded for reaching leagues in season 0. People to reach a league before a certain date (sometime early march) got 0 prestige for reaching that league. whereas in later march people reaching the elite league, for example, got 1200 prestige.
Re: Arena season 0: the Final Sprint !
Request: for each game that a player played at least 1 arena game in, can they recieve a note at season end telling them their final 'rank' out of all players who also completed at least 1 arena game?
It would be nice to know your standing in games where you did not reach the elite league where it automatically tells you your rank. Even if it is something like "#4365 out of 67948 players"

Re: Arena season 0: the Final Sprint !
I had ELO points deducted because of a bug yeserday. However, just a few minutes later, I received your email saying that the penalty was misjudged and had cancelled. The effeciency of your team was really impressive. It's a good place for board gamer and thank you for all the hard work!
